Re: Size feeding question
If snake A is in quarantine and doesnt eat i would toss the feeder in the bin. If Snake A is an animal that is well settled into your collection and doesnt eat then i would toss it to another snake without hesitation.

No need for strength in numbers. I wasn't arguing a point just sharing my personal experiences.

I know. It went to carpets from boas when I added my experiences. I just see no need to go in another dirrection.

My BP regurged when I fed him a jumbo rat. No other ill effects though and I went back down to the large.
As for the OP pic to me that size looks fine for him.

I would dare say it had to do with the temps being too low for it to properly digest that size prey and not really the prey size.
I have snakes that normally eat a 175g rat that I have fed a 300g-400g rat and just bumped the temp 2°f.

I'll have to try bumping his temps and seeing if he'll eat bigger, he's shedding right now so it may be time to try again anyway.

What would be the point in trying to feed such large meals to a ball python?

He said to show him a snake that has regurged from too large of a meal, and I asked because I thought that can happen to BCC's.
Can you not read?

Re: Size feeding question
Well first of all you have a beautiful snake! Second, compare the fuzzy to its thickest part of its body, a few days before it eats. If it is too thick than just keep feeding it the pinkies. I have a a king snake and he is very thin, smaller than a pencil. He eats two pinkies but isn't nearly big enough for a fuzzy.

I wasn't showing him a snake, I was asking Korbin if BCC's had regurgitation problems from large meals because that's what I heard. It was a question not a statement.

Yet you have no problems with Aaron's rude remark to me for asking a question, he does this to everyone so don't single me out.
